decided ability in keeping up the inter
est oi the convention during the tedious
wait for word of some kind from the
committee on resolutions, called on the
band to play "America,” and asked
the delegates and spectators‘to sing at
the same time. His wishes Were car-
ried out, the entire convention rising
and singing two stansas of the song.
A motion was made and carried that
Richard maroon Hobsou, of Alabama,
be invited to address the convention.
Mr. Hohson accepted the invitation.
and In a few moments made his way
from the Alabama delegation to the
platform. He was greeted with a loud
round of applause. and the usual cries
of "louder." He complied promptly
with the request and revealed the best
and strongest voice thus far heard In
the convention.
“What president has been brave
enough to enforce the law against the
labor union violator of law? It was a
Democratic president." he said, and
applause greeted the assertion. "He
passed on to the color question. and
declared that if when the black or yel.
low races came into contact with white
people, If that race would not commit
suicide It must remain absolutely dls~
tlnct. A about from the southern del-
egates greeted the statement.
Isle declared that Booker T. Wash-
Ington would soon outlive his undoubt—
ed usefulness if he did not cease to
yield to the teachings and influences
of the Republican party and its chief-
tain. He urged the men of the west
and north to refrain from oppresslng
the south by advocating anything that
tended to obliterate the racial lines.
He deprecated the fact that in the
Republican convention no one had ris-
en to speak against the plank in that
party's platform which urged reduction
of southern representation in Congress
because of alleged disfranchlsement of
voters in the South.
The speaker worked himself Into a
high pitch of excitement as, with white
face and ringing voice, he drew a pic-
ture of the approaching battle between
the parties and concluded with the
words, “Let us make the Republicans
name the battlefield, and let us make
them call it ‘Waterioo'.”
The speaker finished and the band
followed him close up, played "The
Star Spangled Banner," and then
swung into "Dixie." which received
more than the usual tribute because of
the speech of Mr. Hobson, which had
dwelt with conditions in the South.
In his efforts to secure order, Chair-
man Clark broke his gavel. handle I
short off.
The committee headed by Represen-
tative Ollie “James, which had been
despatched to the rooms of the resolu-
tions committee. presented itself. and
Mr, James was introduced amid great t
applause. His announcement was:
the committee on resolutions. report
that they have discharged that duty.
The committee informs us that they
will be unable to report to the conven-
time they will bring to you a unani-
mous report, signed by every member
of the committee."
Great applause and cheers greeted
this last statement, and as soon as Mr.
James could be heard again he contin-
